What's a Charter School?

Charter schools are free independent public schools with rigorous curriculum programs and unique educational approaches. In exchange for operational freedom and flexibility, charter schools are subject to higher levels of accountability than traditional public schools. Charter schools, which are tuition-free and open to all students, offer quality and choice in the public education system.

Getting the opportunity to complete my education at my pace is great! It was also a very good experience for my future years in college which requires independence.

With amazing teachers and diligent students, JCS has realized its dream of being a great school that will prepare us for the future.

High School Student

I used to transfer high schools too often, changing schools almost every semester. I never felt welcome at any high school until JCS.

High School Student

I came to JCS because my auntie graduated from here. Experiencing this new way of learning was scary at first, but now I love it! It definitely is helping me improve myself and my grades.
